Sunday, October 16, in an interview with TF1, Elisabeth Borne suggested that the government could use 49.3 to pass the 2023 finance bill, currently being examined in the National Assembly. This is the subject of the franceinfo “Talk”. Every evening from 6 p.m., Manon Mella and her guests debate with Internet users on the franceinfo Twitch channel.
Debates around the finance bill resume Monday, October 17 in the National Assembly. However, these could be shortened quickly if the government decides to use 49.3. This article of the Constitution allows the immediate suspension of the discussion around a bill and the adoption of a text without a vote. However, the use of 49.3 is often strongly criticized because of its draconian character.
Gaspard Gantzer, former communications adviser to President François Hollande, founder of Gantzer Agency and Benjamin Morel, lecturer in public law at Paris II, are in the Talk to discuss it. Manon Mella also receives Benjamin Lucas, NUPES deputy from Yvelines.
The government no longer has an absolute majority since the legislative elections of June 2022. Also, faced with the opposition of the Nupes, the National Rally and the right, the use of 49.3 is the option envisaged by the Prime Minister. to pass the 2023 budget law.
However, the use of 49.3 can also backfire on the government. Indeed, if a motion of censure is tabled within 24 hours following the recourse to 49.3, and adopted by the majority of the members composing the Assembly, then the text is rejected and the Government overthrown. Is the use of 49.3 likely to backfire on the government of Elisabeth Borne?
Join us from 6 p.m. Monday to Friday on the franceinfo Twitch channel to participate in Manon Mella’s Talk. An hour of exchange, clarification, debate around topical and social issues.
